Re: 97 2.2 anti theft stuck on issues

so i finally got computer anti theft tuned out
car didnt start at first had to spray several times starter fluid in the intake to get it to fire up so not sure why


but here is question

it all started because of a catlylic converter

orginal exhaust system used a cat that didnt have a 2nd O2 sensor just the one at the exhaust manifold

i replaced the whole exhaust from front to back with a new system and the new cat use's a 02 sensor at it the 2nd one but i had it plugged with a bolt from an oil pan as it didnt use one orginally, and thats when the cat twice (2 brand new ones) over heated i was then told it was probably coolant sensor saying to computer its -40 and computer putting mroe gas in, but i thinking maybe the cat is built different from the ones that use 1 02 sensor then the newer one that uses 2 o2 sensors as i had to uncap the protector cover on the 02 sensor plug for the 2nd one they had it capped off

but when i did get it running it was stinking like burning smell and choking would that been un burned carbon or so sitting in the cat? i let i run for an hour then in my field i did circles for 20 min at 40km/h with this storm it is getting to windy to test so i going to run it tommorow or after hurricane sandy done, but what would the burning smell be i think its gone now but havent tested more

but least its running
